This workshop will give you insights into how emerging tools can become part of your workflow from a fantastic team made up of Camille Donegan, Sean Burns, Ryan Mckenna, Shane Ross Murphy and Jess Harkin.

Whether you’re a professional working in screen, gaming, animation, theatre or a tech-savvy creative or, you’re just curious, this workshop is designed to empower creatives with some of the most cutting-edge tools. Bring your own laptop so you can follow along and gain hands-on experience with the tech!

Ireland currently holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. That makes this the right moment to ensure immersive media has a place within Europe's future cultural and creative funding programmes.

Eirmersive has joined XR4Europe and organisations from 10 countries in calling for immersive media and XR to be explicitly recognised within AgoraEU's MEDIA+ strand (the replacement of the Creative Europe programme 2021-2027).

Without dedicated recognition, one of Europe's fastest-growing creative sectors risks being overlooked despite already being recognised within EU policy.

We're delighted to launch the new Eirmersive Member Map, a visual showcase of the organisations driving immersive technology innovation across the island of Ireland. Explore the map here: Eirmersive Member Map.

What stands out immediately is the geographic spread of our members. From established technology hubs to emerging regional centres of innovation, the map highlights a sector that is both growing and widely distributed across Ireland.

This is an important marker of the industry's evolution. Globally, immersive technologies such as XR, spatial computing and digital twins are moving from experimental applications into mainstream use across manufacturing, healthcare, education, training, culture and entertainment. As adoption accelerates internationally, Ireland's immersive sector is maturing alongside it.

Eirmersive member JunieXR has been named the national winner of the 2026 Creative Business Cup Ireland, earning the opportunity to represent Ireland at the prestigious Creative Business Cup Global Finals in Copenhagen this August. The company will join creative startups from more than 60 countries to showcase innovation, connect with investors and industry leaders, and compete on the global stage.

Founded by Grace Dinan, JunieXR was recognised for JunieStream, an innovative accessibility solution that delivers sign language interpretation, adaptive captions and interactive viewing features directly within streaming platforms. By putting accessibility controls into the hands of viewers, without requiring a separate application or changes to the original content, JunieStream is helping broadcasters and content providers create more inclusive digital experiences.

A major new initiative between Meta and Vision Ireland is set to bring AI-powered wearable technology to thousands of people across Ireland, demonstrating the growing potential of immersive and assistive technologies to improve everyday lives.

Meta has announced the donation of 15,000 Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses to Vision Ireland, providing enough devices for every blind and visually impaired adult supported by the organisation. The programme represents one of the most significant accessibility technology initiatives undertaken in Ireland and highlights the real-world impact that emerging technologies can have when designed with inclusion in mind.

The Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses combine wearable computing, artificial intelligence and hands-free interaction to assist users with a range of day-to-day tasks. Capabilities such as reading text aloud, identifying objects, providing information about…

Manufacturing SMEs from across the island of Ireland recently gathered at Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) for the PRISM Programme’s Paper Prototyping Workshop, the final in-person stage of a structured innovation journey designed to help companies explore the potential of immersive technologies, AI and digital twins within their operations.

Hosted in the Netwell Casala Innovation Lab at DkIT on 30 June, the workshop brought together participating companies and delivery partners to translate real-world manufacturing challenges into tangible solution concepts. Building on earlier mentoring sessions and challenge refinement activities, participants worked collaboratively to develop and visualise potential future solutions to operational issues within their businesses.

The event centred on a hands-on, paper-based prototyping approach. Through a series of facilitated exercises, participants…

Eirmersive was proud to support the Immersive Strand at this year's Galway Film Fleadh, and what a programme it was!

Eight world-class VR experiences across three venues in Galway city. Work that genuinely could not be seen anywhere else in Ireland this year. We had a fantastic time at The Baby Factory is Closed, Bodies of Water and The World Came Flooding In (to name a few), three works that between them navigate menopause, transformation and collective memory in the wake of extreme climate events.

On Saturday, Eirmersive CEO Camille Donegan joined Niamh Costello, John Norton, Kevin Fox, and Conn Holohan on the Creative Futures Academy Screen Futures panel, hosted by Rónán Ó Muirthile, for a conversation about creativity, sustainability and the future of the screen industry. The discussion covered the capabilities of immersive media, the experience economy and where storytelling is heading next.

Eirmersive's latest Case Study Corner episode features Gary Pearson, Founder of Fourth Reality, discussing the development of the Immersive Chem Lab project created in partnership with Dublin City University (DCU). The conversation explored how virtual reality can transform education and training by providing learners with safe, accessible, and engaging hands-on experiences before entering real-world laboratory environments.

The project centred on a virtual replica of DCU's Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) laboratory, allowing students to familiarise themselves with equipment, procedures, and analysis techniques through a series of guided VR modules. The solution was designed to address challenges around limited access to specialist equipment and to increase student confidence before practical lab sessions.

During the discussion, Gary shared how…
